The battle for Brisbane's Victoria Park is far from over - even though police have shut down protests and work has begun on the 2032 Olympics main stadium.
Officers moved in before dawn on Monday to remove the last demonstrators from the inner‑city park, allowing the Games authority to fence off the site and roll in earth‑moving machinery for the $3.8 billion, 63,000‑seat arena.
Premier David Crisafulli turned the first sod, declaring "game on" for the 2032 Games and vowing more than two‑thirds of the park would stay as public green space.
